Say Sayonara

This is a Haiku I am writing which I never new before coming to the Blog world. I see and read of few bloggers who write Haiku, it was interesting to me, to know this style of Japanese poetry writing; it seems it consists of three lines only and the first line being of 5 syllables, second line of 7 syllables and again the third line of 5 syllables. This information I am giving to those who do not know about this form of poetry writing.

I am humble to say that the title I have used is a Japanese word now popularly used in English and other languages of the world since the 19th century.

These particular lines made me to write when I meet or have met so many people in this world who are on the verge of leaving this world.

To your surprise it’s a strange fact that you all have met these people in your regular course of life.

Be it an ailing patient, an old person, fatal accidental injury, chronic disease, drowning person, a person in coma….. so on and so forth…..

These people might be our own kith and kin, very old person in the family, friend in bed for long, anybody whom we know or not is very near to death. Who would say Goodbye through his eyes, hand movements, or by words or anything which shall make us know he/she wants to say Sayonara.

Cornelia!
Thanks so much for the encouraging comment.
You are a good Photographer and you keep clicking images of life and incidents, if you have ever clicked any photo connected to this post and would want to share it, you may send it to me to my email or put it on the comment I shall insert it to this post and give the credit to you. In any case you inform me by replying to this.
See my Post “One day is Over” which is on my Poetry menu the most early poetry I had written and have shared some shots I had taken from my smart phone, you may comment on that in your photographic artistic way.
Thanks Again,
Shiva

Dear Christa!
The first time I heard about the word ‘Sayonara’ it was when I was in high school a film called ‘Love in Tokyo’ of 1966 in Hindi, in India, was released and there was a song on Sayonara which made me remember that, while I was finalizing this Haiku, then I thought why should I not use this word instead of Goodbye as it also means the same. But in the movie it is used as Goodbye for the present. This movie and the song had become a big hit.
Since Christa, you say the word Sayonara is most beautiful Japanese word to you, I herewith put this link of the song for you to enjoy maybe after having a sorrowful mood reading this post. If you have heard that song hear it once again and enjoy. If you have not heard it at all, you shall love to hear it again and again.In any case please inform me or put your nice comment here.

Its all for YOU and may be for others who come here.
Have a nice Day!

The lyrics are coming on the screen as the song is being played, you watch it carefully and listen to the song. If you are interested to know about Bollywood Music and Lyrics go read my Post “Greatest Musicians and Lyricists of Bollywood” but with only one condition, you should have lot of time for that or else read it taking intervals, OK.
Sayonara for Now.

Well that video was fun, not sure what she said, I did not see any lyrics on the screen, but I could get the just of it from watching…I think that tune and Sayonara will stick in my head for a while now… 🙂
Thanks Shiva!

I think you should go to the main You tube screen and see as I think I have seen the titles appearing there. You just check, since you have liked the tune you shall like the song too.
You inform me in any case, I shall check it for you.
Have a nice sleep with the song in your head.
Ha

I just checked, yes it is, while playing here on the Blog there is YouTube logo displayed you go and press the cursor there you go to the Original youtube URL and shall get the titles. I saw it again fully with the titles, so now you will understand the song picturised.

Yes! Sharmishtha!
Telling Sayonara is always touching.
Did you hear that song I have inserted in the comment page, its entertaining.
Its of a movie of 1966 “Love in Tokyo”
I had seen that movie when I was a child.It was fascinating too.
Thanks
Keep good always,
Shiva

What a post! Sayonara…the title didn’t indicate the depth of what was going to come my way! And the photographs stand out! Loss is never easy and through these photographs and the haiku, you have stirred the deepest emotions in me. Well done. Cheers…

Thanks for that. Aishwarya!
Your comment did stir mine.
I recommend you to read my Post “…in this stupid body” since you are moved by this, I think that shall still move you a little further. Only read it slowly line by line; I am sorry I should not put it this way but only for You.
Its in my Poetry menu.
Thanks for the follow.
Shiva

Marianne!
Thanks!
I do not know of other formats, please explain if you know. The information I got is from the link I have mentioned and by reading other bloggers Haiku.
I am ready to go to Jacqueline’s Saturday party, you may join there.
If you do not know the address I shall give the link.

It’s so difficult to say sayonara when you love someone so much, but its better then seeing them in pain. I love how you have mentioned two beautiful songs in the aftermath of this post… Love old songs, these two are on my lips more then usual.. Every time someone goes away the song “zindgi ke safar me bichad jate he jo mukamm…” plays somewhere in my mind. whilst the other one I just use to make fun with my papa when I go out… hhaha thanks for bringing back some wonderful memoirs…
